Naomi 2

I was quite surprised to find out that this name was also Japanese.

While it is a feminine name, when a man has this name, he becomes very masculine.

Bad personal associations with this name.

Obviously it is Japanese-looking not Biblical-looking. I just hate this name. I hate Japanese names.

It’s funny how this version of the name is unisex, when I always thought of Naomi as a girl’s name. Not masculine at all!

I love the way Naomi looks, but hate the way it’s pronounced. With this version though, the pronunciation is so much more elegant and pretty.

Naomi Kimishima is a doctor in the game Trauma Center Wii Version and a forensics doctor in Trauma Team.

My name is Naomi, and so I was wondering, if I ever go to Japan (which I would really like to), does that mean everyone will call me NOW-ME? I grew up with NY-OH-ME (as much as I hated it) and NAY-OH-ME. I don't mind NOW-ME as much.:/

I so much prefer the Japanese version of this name! I hate the way "Naomi (Ney-owe-mi)" is pronounced in the western sense. It sounds whiny and ugly. But to pronounce it Nao-Mi sounds both cute and elegant at once.
Unfortunately, if I called my child Naomi, you can bet everyone would pronounce it wrong. :(

My middle name rocks! My first name is often skipped & I have acheived the nickname Mimi. I hate how people mispronounce it as NI-omee. If you can read right, you'd be able to tell that the "i" is at the end. Most don't know it, but there is a significant difference in meaning if you pronounce it wrong, plus- it can get the bearer angry.

A very pretty name with a very pretty meaning. Although for some odd reason when I hear this name the first thing that pops into my head is a tropical beachside.

I love this name. MIAOMI is very pretty. It has always reminded me of a beautiful Japanese maiden. (that is if someone pronounces it in just the right way.)

I like this name as the most common used kanji to write it is very beautiful. The kanji are also intricate, delicate and beautiful to look at. It is also a good Japanese name as Westerners can easily associate to it, even if it is pronounced differently to the English Naomi.
